Hi. Long time, no blog. My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything worthwhile to blog about. I was thinking of inflicting injuries on myself, so that I could get blogging ideas.I did something very similar. I recorded my voice. I used Voicethread and the software part is all right, but...I lived under the illusion that I had this very pleasant, melodious, deep voice. Only yesterday someone at the Zoo told me I sang beautifully (Yes, I am afraid I sang at the Zoo). So, after such a compliment, I decided I should finally tackle Week 4 assignment. I left a short listening comprehension exercise in my class blog (Coffee Time).Somebody should have told me I had a lisp before. I would have refrained from speaking in public. I mean, of course I knew about the lisp. What I didn't know was that I actually sound like Daffy Duck.Our time on Earth is short. The idea was that we should spend it listening to ourselves through that beautiful resonance box our body creates. So what business do we have recording ourselves?Lucky I didn't try leaving a singing Voicethread message.By the way, I didn't know how to post Voicethread as a regular message, so I added it to the footer of my page. There has to be a way, but I haven't worked it out.

About Me

My name is Natasa Bozic Grojic and I am a teacher of English from Belgrade, Serbia. I teach adults and I have been in this job for 20 years.
I first got interested in Web 2.0 and blogging in January 2008 when I attended two EVO sessions - Becoming a Webhead and Blogging4Educators. That's when I started my first blog. I called it simply Natasa's blog.
I suffer from what I call Multiple Bloggonality Disorder. There are four personae in my blog right now - the Learner, the Teacher, the Geek and the Writer. The Learner goes to different workshops and online sessions and uses this blog to write homework. The Teacher is eager to share her experience and talk to other Teachers. She is particularly interested in student motivation and classroom dynamics. The Geek likes to try out new Internet tools. She is always happy to share her opinions and feelings about them. Finally, the Writer. She treats blogging as a writing exercise and thinks it is fun.
